Barcelona, Nov. 23. General Wcy- ler, former captain-general of Cuba, arrived here 'this morning on beard the staamsr Montzerrat from Havani. The general was welcomed by about 20,000 people and in order to .escape the manifestations the general was driven to the house of Deputy Salai- rigae, where he was forced to appear j upon the balcony, and was applauded j by the crowds gathered about the house. General Weyler, addressing a number of his friends shortly after his arrival here, expressed great reget at his recall from Cuba, alleging that he was particularly annoyed at the attitude of certain newspapers, which hid declared that he favored the insurgents. Continuing, the general remarked: "The Spanish soldiers, however, have a contempt for these papers, as they have for filibusters." In regard to autonomy, the former captain-general of Cuba, said: "Autonomy in Cuba would be most .unfortunate for every national Industry. The riches of Cuba belong to Spain, and autonomy means a disappearance of Spanish "workmen and complete misery throughout the island."

He aims at the reorganization of the conservative party and In order to realize his protectionist Ideal he will vigorously oppose the granting of a tariff au'oacmy to Cuba. THE GOVERNMENT SIDE. Madrid, Nov. 23. The official report of the landing of General Weyler at Barcelona differs from the independent reports.

Madrid, Nov. 23. Premier Sagas a, replying today to a Catalan deputation, formally declared that the government of Spain could in no way modify its programme of autonomy for Cuba. Continuing, the premier expressed the hope that the Cuban assembly would elect a commission which would co-operate with a Spanish commission in determining the com mercial relations between Cuba and Spain by consulting mutual Interests. In addition to the granting of an autonomous tariff for Cuba the following reforms have been proposed: "A chamber of deputies of the island shall be composed of between forty and fifty members, a deputy for each 4,000 population. The governor-general is to be chosen from "this chamber, five members to form an executive committee, consisting of a president and ministers of the interior, finance, justice and' public works. The governor-general shall have power to veto all legislation." DIVIDED AS TO POLICY. Madrid, Nov. 23. The Imparcial today strongly opposed the granting of a tariff autonomy to Cuba, declaring that unless Spanish products are admitted to that island on preferential terms, geographical conditions will compel the peninsula to renounce the Cuban market. El Liberal strongly supports the proposition to give Cuba an autono- mous tariff and published documents : tending to show that all Cubans, even the Spanish colonists, desire autonomy.

Humphrey privately that his regiment ' was composed of "army reserve men, J ex-soldiers, and kids." i The facts are that not mare than forty of the Sixty-sixth are army reserve men, and the officers cannot mak out why General Gascoiene made such erroneous statements. They j blame General Montgomery Moore ,the i efficer commanding the British .forces, j who dislikes the militia, and especial y j the Sixty-sixth for havi. g poisoned j I the mind of General Gascoigne.

THE SILYERPILGRIMS Returning from China and Japan Meccas of the Metal AN UNFRUITFUL JOURNEY Oriental Methods and Systems Found Inapplicable Little Likelihood of Early Financial Legislation Attorney - General McKenna's Unpopular Construction of Section 22 of the Tariff. Washington, Nov. 23. Senator Carter, as representative of a silver state, has given President McKinley his views on the subject of currency reform. He told the president that no plan of currency reform should be advanced which did .not contain as a part of it the retirement of all notes of less denomination i than $10, and the substitution for them of silver dollars and silver " certificates. He also gave it as his opinion what no proposition for the retirement cf the greenbacks and the substitution of interest bearing bonds in. their place could pass congress, nor, he added, could any proposition for retiring- greenbacks in a manner which would contract the currency. Carter said that the silver states would be much benefitted by having silver currency substituted for notes of smaller denominations.The return: of the wandering sliver statesmen, who have visited Japan, China and the silver using countries' of the east since congress adjourned, to gather Information to help along the silver cause in this country, is looked forward to with considerable interest by silver men generally. - Senators Cannon and Petti gre w started out fully convinced that their arguments (in ifavor of silver were correct, and in their wanderings they were probably more intent upon gaining information to add to the fores of their theories than to investigating fully the monetary systems of th east and the effect silver had upon commerce. i u. is sam Dy meir me jus tnai mess travelers found little to encourage them on their trip. Japan, since they started out, has repudiated their doctrine, and the palpable difficulties of comparing the lower plane of civilization, such as exists in the eastern nations, with the higher plane found in this country, with any hope of showing results in favor of the former, would be discouraging to any but silver men. The effort to apply Chinese or Japanese methods to the very different conditions that exist here is not likely to add strength to the silver agitation. Senator Chandler has arrived, and predicts the enactment of a great deal of general legislation. "Do you think that congress will enact any financial legislation," he was asked. "I cannot see how such legislation can be passed through the house and senate. Of course, we expect to hear ifrom the administration on. this sub ject, and Secretary Gage will in all probability submit his views for cur consideration. As the senate is now organized, it will ha .practically dm- possible to pass a bill of the kind proposed, and it would be sure to precipitate a lengthy discussion, which in the end would amount only t:o wind, and at the same time hold the business of the country in a state cf uncertainty and suspense. I do not think that any financial legislation will be enacted during the coming session."Senator Elkins says he does not dream of allowing section 22 of the tariff bill to stand as Attorney General MoKenna interprets i!:. The first thing he will do .when congress convenes will be to introduce a bill making the meaning of section 22 so clear that customs officers will be obliged to shut the Canadian Pacific rail oad ou't of transcontinental transportation of American! Importations. It is a'so saiid that President McKinley will refer to section 22 in his message, giving congress to understand its bearing upon the settlement of the Bearing sea matter, the border alien labor squabble, the fisheries question, etc. At the same, time it i3 claimsd that he will give congress to understand that df its sentiment is in. favor of discriminating against the Canadian Pacific railroad, the administration will not oppose the re-enactmenit of section 22. Those who have been consulted by the president do root believe he favors discrimination of so severe a character as those who slipped section 22 into the bill evidently intended.

THE SILYERPILGRIMS Returning from China and Japan Meccas of the Metal AN UNFRUITFUL JOURNEY Oriental Methods and Systems Found Inapplicable Little Likelihood of Early Financial Legislation Attorney - General McKenna's Unpopular Construction of Section 22 of the Tariff. Washington, Nov. 23. Senator Carter, as representative of a silver state, has given President McKinley his views on the subject of currency reform. He told the president that no plan of currency reform should be advanced which did .not contain as a part of it the retirement of all notes of less denomination i than $10, and the substitution for them of silver dollars and silver " certificates. He also gave it as his opinion what no proposition for the retirement cf the greenbacks and the substitution of interest bearing bonds in. their place could pass congress, nor, he added, could any proposition for retiring- greenbacks in a manner which would contract the currency. Carter said that the silver states would be much benefitted by having silver currency substituted for notes of smaller denominations.The return: of the wandering sliver statesmen, who have visited Japan, China and the silver using countries' of the east since congress adjourned, to gather Information to help along the silver cause in this country, is looked forward to with considerable interest by silver men generally. - Senators Cannon and Petti gre w started out fully convinced that their arguments (in ifavor of silver were correct, and in their wanderings they were probably more intent upon gaining information to add to the fores of their theories than to investigating fully the monetary systems of th east and the effect silver had upon commerce. i u. is sam Dy meir me jus tnai mess travelers found little to encourage them on their trip. Japan, since they started out, has repudiated their doctrine, and the palpable difficulties of comparing the lower plane of civilization, such as exists in the eastern nations, with the higher plane found in this country, with any hope of showing results in favor of the former, would be discouraging to any but silver men. The effort to apply Chinese or Japanese methods to the very different conditions that exist here is not likely to add strength to the silver agitation. Senator Chandler has arrived, and predicts the enactment of a great deal of general legislation. "Do you think that congress will enact any financial legislation," he was asked. "I cannot see how such legislation can be passed through the house and senate. Of course, we expect to hear ifrom the administration on. this sub ject, and Secretary Gage will in all probability submit his views for cur consideration. As the senate is now organized, it will ha .practically dm- possible to pass a bill of the kind proposed, and it would be sure to precipitate a lengthy discussion, which in the end would amount only t:o wind, and at the same time hold the business of the country in a state cf uncertainty and suspense. I do not think that any financial legislation will be enacted during the coming session."Senator Elkins says he does not dream of allowing section 22 of the tariff bill to stand as Attorney General MoKenna interprets i!:. The first thing he will do .when congress convenes will be to introduce a bill making the meaning of section 22 so clear that customs officers will be obliged to shut the Canadian Pacific rail oad ou't of transcontinental transportation of American! Importations. It is a'so saiid that President McKinley will refer to section 22 in his message, giving congress to understand its bearing upon the settlement of the Bearing sea matter, the border alien labor squabble, the fisheries question, etc. At the same, time it i3 claimsd that he will give congress to understand that df its sentiment is in. favor of discriminating against the Canadian Pacific railroad, the administration will not oppose the re-enactmenit of section 22. Those who have been consulted by the president do root believe he favors discrimination of so severe a character as those who slipped section 22 into the bill evidently intended.
